Original 20th Century Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Philip Kaufman biographical drama, QUILLS (2000) starring Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Joaquin Phoenix, and Michael Caine. The film deals with the incarceration of the infamous Marquis de Sade (Rush) at Charenton Asylum. The Marquis has always been involved in determining the role that sexuality plays in defining who we are physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is discovered that the Marquis is smuggling out manuscripts on these subjects to publishers on the outside. The Emperor Napoleon is not happy about his turn of events and sends his “specialist” in mental health (Caine), a man more in tune with the Spanish inquisition than modern medicine, to treat the wayward aristocrat. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards—including Best Actor for Rush, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design. This original one sheet poster is rolled and in very fine plus condition.
